GEORGIA,  MY  GEORGIA ! 

■1   t  AKR1K   BKLI.  SI.N'L'LAIK. 


Bark  !  'tis  the  cannon' a  deafening  roar, 
That  Rounds  along  thy  sunny  shore, 
And  thou  shalt  lie  in  chains  no  more, 

My  wounded,  bleeding  Georgia  ! 
Then  arm  each  youth  and  patriot  sire, 
Light  up  the  patriotic  tire, 
And  bid  the  zeal  of  those  ne'er  tire, 

"Who  strike  for  thee,  my  Georgia  ! 

Oa  thee  is  laid  oppression's  hand, 
Around  thy  altars  lbemen  stand, 
To  scatter  freedom's  gallant  band, 

And  lay  thee  low,  my  Georgia  ! 
Hut  thou  has't  noble  sons,  and  brave, 
The  Stars  and  Bars  above  thee  wave, 
And  here  we'll  make  oppression's  grave. 

Upon  thy  soil,  my  Georgia  ! 

We  bow  at  Liberty's  fair  shrine. 
And  kneel  in  holy  love  at  thine. 
And  while  above  our  stars  still  shine, 

We'll  strike  for  them  and  Georgia  ! 
Thy  woods  with  victory  shall  resound, 
Thy  brow  shall  be  with  laurels  crowned, 
And  peace  shall  spread  her  wings  around. 

My  own.  my  sunny  Georgia  ! 

Yes,  these  shalt  teach  thy  foes  to  feel. 
That  Southern  hearts,  and  Southern  steel, 
Will  make  them,  in  submission,  kneel 

Before  the  sons  of  Georgia  ! 
And  thou  shalt  see  thy  daughter's,  too. 
With  pride  and  patriotism  true, 
Arise  with  strength  to  dare  and  do, 

Ere  they  shall  conquer  Georgia  ! 

Tin  name  shall  be  a  name  of  pride  - 

Thy  heroes  all  have  nobly  died, 

That  thou  mayst  be  the  spotless  bride 

Of  Liberty,  my  Georgia! 
Then  wave  thy  sword  and  banner  high. 
And  louder  raise  the  battle  cry, 
Till  shouts  of  victory  reach  the  sky, 

And  thou  art  free  ray  Georgia !
